The Oarfish

monster fish



In the past, when cars and airplanes have not been there, the travelers explore the world by ship. And since then came the legendary sea monsters are incredible. Are these monsters really exist? or just fantasy of a drunken sailor? Although science can not determine with certainty the identity of these monsters, but at least there are some that could be considered prime suspects. This is one of them, or Oarfish Regalecus Glesne.

If you look at his picture, I think you would not be surprised to see these creatures are often mistaken for a monster or sea serpent.


These fish belong to the category of very rare and seldom seen. I was so scarce that the fish is never caught on camera in a state of life to 2001.

He belongs to the family that has four species Regalecidae. One species, Regalecus Glesne, we're talking about this, never entered into the Guinness Book of World Records for having been found living with a body length of up to 11 meters.


The food is plankton and tiny sea creatures other. He was able to live up to a depth of 1,000 meters. Surprisingly, this fish has no scales. His body was covered only by a kind of membrane, called guanine.

These fish have a single fin fish, including red and a loner. However, when these fish are sick or dying, like the loner does not want to die in loneliness. So he climbed to the top surface of the sea and stay there until death. Possible to attract the attention of the sailors, or just want to look at the sun for the last time.

The sailors of the past may have seen these fish at the surface and perceive it as a sea monster. For example, in 1860, when a five meter long Oarfish beached Bermuda, the residents immediately link it with the legendary sea monster.

Although science has been able to open the veil of this rare fish, but I think, every person who first saw these fish will be amazed, just like when I saw it for the first time.
